Pink Daisy

Here's another I'm offering up for some critique... I haven't posted here for a while so I thought I would submit some photos for thoughts, comments and suggestions on how to better improve. Thanks as always :)

Poor daisy doesn't look like you waited until it woke up properly! :)

It looks a little underexposed to me. Great bokeh though.

You should follow MA's hint and take a new shot with more light. You could get a much brighter picture.

I agree that it could be a bit brighter. I quite like the shallow DOF, but maybe one more stop would get the whole flower. I like the composition and bokeh very much.

I took these in auto bracket so is this a bit better IYO? I'll go back and give it another go this evening.
Thanks for the advice... :)

I think the second image is better but it still lacks a little punch with the colors.

Love the bokeh!!!!!!!!!!

2nd is like a brand new image and the flower looks better though kat is right imo;the colours could be more saturated.

The background on the first shot though - Totally works for me.
This might be a GREAT time to try layering these images one on top of each other and experiment with different blending modes.
Hope that helps - Marko

Thanks for the advice everyone...
Here's the layered HDR version using all 3 shots and photomatrix...
What d'ya think? Any better or should I just go back for a re-shoot? :confused:
Thanks again... :)

[scorpio_e]

I would go back for a reshoot:) Let us know when you post the new one:)

Here's tonight's visit/re-shoot..... fire away....personally I like the sharpness of the first set better but the colours of the petals on this version work better.
Any one else care to comment/critique away...thanks as always :)

Much better exposure this time Casil. Looks about right to me. Unfortunately I don't really see anything in perfect focus this time.
